Dilly Wilkinson, the hospital's deputy director of nursing, said: “Visiting times remain restricted temporarily on Elizabeth Ward (2-4pm and 6-8pm) until Thursday 12th April as a precaution, following the recent outbreak of sickness and diarrhoea.

"We are really pleased all other wards are open as usual for visitors.”

Wards have been re-opened after the hospital was hit by the winter vomiting bug.

The bug first hit the hospital just before the Easter Bank Holiday weekend and to stop any further cases, those who have symptoms of diarrhoea and vomiting or flu, are being urged to avoid going to the hospital until they are 48 hours symptom-free unless they need urgent medical attention.
